One of the most powerful ways you can help people with disabilities through cbm is by praying for our co-workers.
These cbm staff work in the world’s poorest countries,
far away from family and friends, often in communities hostile
to the Christian faith. Knowing people care enough to pray for
them is a real encouragement.
Every
day, on our HOME page, you’ll
find a new prayer request sent to us by one of our co-workers.
Just click on the link in the "Hearts and Hands" Ministry
box to find other interesting facts about our co-workers and
the countries where they live and work.

Diary in hard copy, just click here.
